No, windows python works much worse inside cygwin, because it know
nothing about emulation of posix system provided by cygwin.
And absolute path mismatch is the top of iceberg.

A while ago John Meinel said he used standalone bzr.exe for Cygwin.
I think it's best solution for your problem.

But I'm sure the right solution here: you need to install bzr on cygwin.
